    Deleting downloaded Beta update

    Hi, can someone tell me how to delete an already downloaded macOS update? I don't want to upgrade to Beta 5, but want to wait for Beta 6 and delete the already downloaded update. A terminal solution would be nice and probably anyway necessary. Thanks!

    Safari on Big Sur won't load local files

    When I attempt to open a .html file from my hard drive in Safari, it fails with this error: The operation couldn't be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 1.) (kCFErrordomainCFNetwork:1) Anyone have an idea of why? It didn't happen until I upgraded to Big Sur. Catalina worked just fine.
